Note about Detox

Thought I should throw this out there-- Just because you're eliminating foods/food groups DOESN'T, I repeat DOESN'T, mean you are necessarily eliminating calories.

DETOX DOES NOT EQUAL WEIGHT LOSS

It can definitely help, and that's not to say it won't happen, however, there are plenty of foods still allowed on detox that add a lot of fat and calories to meals. Olive oil, avocados, nuts and seeds, and nut butters, while healthy and definitely good for us, should be portion controlled if weight loss is desired. If you're looking to gain weight, go to town! The foods I mentioned are undoubtedly awesome, but like I said prior to day 1, anyone can do it even if they want to maintain their weight and are looking for a way to just get healthy and challenge themselves nutritionally. Just some food for thought (ha! get it? ...Yes, I'm aware I'm a food nerd).
